Episode 11- Moonraker
Welcome to Moonraker, the movie in which James Bond goes to space and there's an actual laser fight up there between a crew of nothing but 10/10 hunks and the United States Marines.
We also advance our Unified Bond Theory of the Moore years: This is primarily a series of films about boats, and some other shit also just happens to occur.

Would pay 1.99 for a clean "It's baboon time, baby!" Ringtone
At the end of the movie, I was pretty sure that jaws and his girlfriend were picked up by the marines before re-entry, or at least that's how I thought it went, I was tired when I watched the movie
During the cable car scene Jaws is just fully doing the sickos face as he chases Bond and Goodhead down the wire.
I've been doing kendo for 2 years and watching the scene where he fucking busts in wearing the full armor set for some reason and wielding a shinai, a sword made of 4 slats of bamboo in a way where you can't really do much worse than a bruise or concussion if you get hit badly on the head with it so killing somebody with it is near impossible, had me howling with laughter.
The skydive chase worked well on VHS on a small CRT, tho
Also on this, mayyyybbbbeee it looked like she had braces in this context, too. It's such a strong visual memory for something that never happened...
OMG Mia Mulder! Get Hype!!!
! a woman
John Gant, the uncredited "Venice Coffin Assassin," acted in no other movies but Moonraker, and went on to be senior special effects supervisor person on The Neverending Story xD
Jaws goes sicko mode, Bond can only go Seiko mode.
A quick google search told me a doberman (I think that's what those were) can run 32 miles an hour and a standard golf cart only goes 14, so Corinne was fucked.
I blame this on her inability to read
Jaws does ridiculous assassination attempts because he knows he's indestructible and wants to have fun.
Only the Bond Wiggler reduces an entire nonce into a soup-like homogenate in thirty seconds.
my favorite wtf moment in this movie is after bond & goodheade escape from the space shuttle conference room: Bond lasers the grate off with his laser watch, sure. they outcrawl the fireball, whatever that's movie logic. But the very next scene they exit from a vent INSIDE DRAX' BASE. And we know it's inside the base because we see people walking & driving past the vent exit that Bond escapes from. SO that space shuttle's venting its toxic gasses directly into drax' own base, everyone should be DEAD from carbon monoxide or other fun side effects from INHALING ROCKET GASSES what I'm saying is we need a 'well there's your problem' crossover episode
"whaddup im corinne im 29 and i never fucking learned how to read"
"he looks like peter dinklage if you like, clicked in the top right corner and dragged up"
"Imagine Daniel Craig's Bond having to deal with this." (looks at 007 Legends) Oh, Devon. My sweet summer child.
pog!
See... I knew I was destined for this particular episode of the podcast. I've just learned that the only term I can use to describe my horny self is: "ambiently horny".
The Moonraker theme? Forgettable? HOW DARE YOU! Just like the Mooooonraker goooooes! The Goldfingeeeeeer! Youuuuuuu... something... Poor Shirley.
I haven’t listened yet, but I predict that when they get to the scene with the pigeon, Devon is apoplectic, Alice has her head in her hands, and Abi is laughing uncontrollably at how stupid the scene is.
